"I have lost my closest friend, my inspiration in life, my one and only brother. This is something I could never imagine, but for some reason I feel his life is not a loss. My brother is me! We live our lives through each other. We dedicate our triumphs to one another and share the challenges we face in life. What does someone do when they lose the one person in their life like this? They are devastated right? Allow me to share with you Stathi’s thoughts and what he wants. If you can believe me, I feel you will all be somewhat enlightened to hear what I have say. The fight will go on!* I will do this for Stathi, my family and myself. The moment I walked in for a grueling sparing session after hearing the news of his death earlier that day, my trainer Brendon Smith shook my hand and said to me “you are about to take the bravest step of your life.” We nodded, smiled and went to work.* I worked as I have never done before. He is with me and will be all the way. I am happy about this. I have never experienced anything like I felt that day. Stathi is inside me!* We will fight this fight together.* I know this is what he wants. I would like to thank everyone for their well wishes and prayers for my brother, my family and myself. God bless." Massive props pinched from the general
Good to hear, I just hope that he can approach the fight in the best mental shape that he can considering the circumstances.
The guy is a warrior! I will be supporting him even though I think marquez is the favourite for this fight
Wow, fair play to him. Even though I'm not sure this is the right thing to do, a bit blow like that, he should give himself time to recover before going for this. Still, I'll be cheering him on (even though Marquez is one of my favourite active fighters as well)
i think this alot but i think i mean it this time, ''these fights cant fail to be classics''...........:blurp
